Introduction to the course

In the Introduction lesson, you’ll get an overview of what this advanced course is all about and where it fits in the FoggyKitchen multicloud journey. This course is designed for cloud architects, DevOps engineers, and platform teams who have already completed Multicloud Fundamentals or have hands-on experience with VCNs, VNets, and subnets. You’ll discover what each of the three advanced modules covers—from remote peering and transitive routing to DNS zone linking and cross-region database access. The learning objectives focus on building real-world multicloud topologies across OCI and Azure using Terraform or OpenTofu. We highlight the architectural differences: OCI supports transitive routing via DRG attachments, while Azure favors a flat mesh with global VNet peering. You’ll explore networking building blocks in both clouds and how similar components differ in naming and behavior. The structure of the GitHub repository is explained, showing how to navigate modules and follow along with guided deployments. You’ll also review all prerequisites: basic CLI skills, tooling, and required cloud account permissions. By the end of this lesson, you’ll understand the course format and its hands-on approach. You’re now ready to dive in and deploy production-grade networking across two public clouds.
